Answer:
TIPS TO HOUSE-TRAIN YOUR NEW PUPPY
Be kind about accidents. All dogs have occasional accidents, and it doesn't help to yell or rub their nose in it. Your puppy doesn't know the rules yet and this will only scare her and confuse her.
Begin with a crate. When you first bring your puppy home, set her up in her own crate. Put a towel or blanket and toy inside to make it comfy - an inviting place where she can sleep, nap, and hang out when you are not actually watching her. It also prevent her from wandering and making messes where she shouldn't. Before putting her inside, be sure to remove her collar and tags so they won't get caught on the sides of the crate.
Stay near by. The idea is to take her out frequently so she never has an accident in her crate. Since most dogs don't like to soil the area where they sleep, this method really works. Young puppies will usually have to go at least every two hours during the day when they are active, and 6 to 8 hours at night.
Show her the bathroom. If you catch your puppy going in the wrong place, simply say "no" and immediately pick her up and take her where she is supposed to go. Wait for her to finish and praise a lot when she does. Always take her to the same spot.
Hide the scent. Dogs can smell where they have gone before and they are more likely to return to the same spot. You have to clean the area thoroughly with a pet stains/odors remover available in pet stores.
Anticipate her needs. The goal is to get her outside before it is too late. Signals that means "bathroom" include crouching, pawing the ground, walking around in circles while sniffing the ground. Gently whisk her outside as soon as you suspect trouble.
Choose a key word for her. Once you take her outside, say a key word such as "business", "Hurry up", "go pee", "go potty". Puppies are so eager to please, once it clicks that you're asking them to go to the bathroom, they will do their best.
Be a cheerleader. You cannot give her too much praise for going where she is supposed to go. Hug her, love her, let her know she did a good thing so she will do it again next time.
Keep a regular schedule. It will speed up the process. Even house-trained dogs will need to go outside a least every 6 to 8 hours. Don't go for drinks after work, unless you have someone to walk your dog or you have a doggy door.
Be realistic. Young dogs are going to make mistakes. Some puppies learn the ropes in a few weeks. Others take a few months. If you are doing the right thing, they will come around. However don't expect them to be fully trained before 6 months old.
